And everywhere people will be using signs, their bodies, chalk, or anything else they can think of to spell out IMPEACH! Several cities have actions planned already, but we invite everybody to start thinking about the most creative, spectacular, beautiful, and clever ways they can come up with to spell it out. This is a spin-off of the BeachImpeach project on the shores of San Francisco where over 1,100 people spelled out "Impeach!" Find out what is going on in your town, or start your own project.

He's as clueless as John Kerry wanting to run again. To think this guy is actually still considering a run for the presidency. He’s as clueless as John Kerry wanting to run again.

]]> Comment on The Double Life of Véronique by Alexandre FABBRI http://www.globalintellect.com/uncategorized/the-double-life-of-vronique.html#comment-2 Wed, 22 Nov 2006 08:27:48 +0000 http://www.globalintellect.com/uncategorized/the-double-life-of-vronique.html#comment-2 Yes, this new Criterion release must be the best so far in both color rendition and sharpness. As a small point, one will find the color blue in the film - "The film was photographed using a golden yellow filter, and the resulting sepia-cum-russet color scheme was apparently further augmented with the deliberate elimination of the color blue from the film's spectrum. True blue appears only a few times in the picture, in each instance reflecting a subjective feeling of love or otherness: Weronika's sighting of Veronique (where she appears almost haloed by the color); the blue dress of Weronika's beautiful aunt; Veronique's discovery of the puppeteer's reflection in a backstage mirror; Alexandre's van; and another subjective view of the puppeteer, as Veronique watches him covertly through a stained glass window." (http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film2/DVDreviews26/double_life_of_veronique.htm) It's a pity that Slavoj Żiżek's ramblings were included in the notes, but that's only my opinion. Annette Insdorf was a close friend of Kieslowski and her words definitely worth listening to, in contrast to the thoughts of the metaphysical philosophers that have sprung up after his death.
